Comment on Is the right to abortion a "negative right" or a "positive right"?
theyoyomaster@lemmy.world 1 year agoIt’s not separating them out to groups because it’s a fun thing to do, it’s a literal function of how rights work. Negative rights are things they can’t take away and positive rights are things they have to give you. Both positive and negative rights can be absolute rights, but whether or not they are something that can’t be taken or must be given is important in how they are implemented in any system of government.
